CSAM Factory rolls off the tongue a bit better

They don’t generate any value for local communities either!

> The latter is likely non-malicious in intent as it has been in no short supply in online chatter for awhile now. The former can very well be, or rather, can be done with no regar…

I hope not. That will just encourage more lawfare and market consolidation instead of competition and innovation

The alternative is ceding the leading edge to China and being dependent on them to continue releasing advances

Doesn’t even have to be a certain level of intelligence, just have those user inputs fed into the training data. We’ve already seen AI encouraging people in psychotic episodes to a…

Seems you’ve rustled some jimmies. I’ve always thought effective altruism was a nice way to rationalize insatiable greed.

The one AI customer support experience I’ve actually enjoyed was last winter in a cold snap when my pipes froze. Drove to a Walmart to find a space heater and of course they were s…

Just continuing the car example, because you actually do need to know enough about it to operate it and get your license. There’s no license, no insurance for using AI. Driving can…

It’s definitely on the high friction side of the usability/security tradeoff, I just think auto modes like this are as liability-inducing as handing a script kiddie intern full adm…

They’d do better with a bribe, Texas runs on corruption. I’m sure the campaign contribution checks are already written though

Incredibly naive, AI is not magic and it won’t always do what you want or expect. Not sure how you’ve determined that I’m gate keeping when I’m simply warning that tech illiteracy …

Are you jacking into your car’s OBD port and messing with the engine timing? There’s a difference between using a known tool in a controlled way and giving the tool to a hallucinat…

> it's someone who's more "code-naive" and might get anxious about approving random bash script commands they don't recognize. Maybe they should trust their instinct and not mess w…

I’d say I would take that bet but gambling’s a sin

When they were just doing their jobs without being assholes, killing Americans and violating civil rights, ICE had a legitimate purpose. There’s no redeeming them now. Obama deport…

Yeah I don’t live in the places where that was/is happening. A small benefit of rural small town living. My rep and senator are both blue and acting it. The red line moves up the e…

My point is that saying “there is no unreasonable fine if it works” is naive absolutism. Even with proportional fines, does fining someone 99% of their income count as too high? If…

If it happens, it’s 2A time

They’ve been quite effective in Ukraine’s counteroffensive probes against Russia. That’s how all those oil refineries keep catching fire. The balance is just continuing to shift aw…

Hopefully it’s just Crimea returning to Ukraine, but you’re probably right.

Yes it would be, but that hasn’t happened yet.

> It’s reasonable to assume that a bug was fixed when reported. You must not have reported many bugs then. If you don’t see release notes or confirmation from a trusted source, you…
